Bush Changes his Tune re: Firing the Leaker
President Bush was hedging his bets today, by saying that anyone in his administration who was found to have <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=615&e=3&u=/nm/20050718/pl_nm/bush_leak_dc" target="_blank">committed a crime</a> in a federal investigation of the leak of a covert CIA agent's name would be fired. Note the new framing: anyone who is found to have "committed a crime", not anyone who leaked the name, as he has insisted for the last two years.

How low can the man stoop? How much more will the American public stand for?
